How beautiful is this day I have made.

Today is a canvas for you to paint on.

The canvas of today has all the colors right there for you.

You can walk on the colors. You can wear them. You can exclude some, and you can embrace others.

You know, of course, that the concept of days is even illusion. Even the most beautiful days are illusion. You are on a continuum where there are no days and no nights. You are on a continuum that is all light. Even on days where you are jostled, there is only light.

By the same token, there is no dawn, and there is no sunset, and yet you are dawning, beloveds. Your awareness is dawning. You are losing boundaries. Instead of losing, let Us say you are loosening the bonds. You are freeing yourself from the denseness you perceive, and you are rising to the pure sunlight that, when all is said and done, abides within you.

There is nowhere, beloveds. There is nothing. All that is evident to you is nothing. There is no time, no distance, there is nothing at all. There is nothing but light and love. Mysteriously, you see shades of dark and you even see love lost. Do not think I blame you for this.

You do not see very well. Even so, you are seeing better. You are seeing better and better. You are seeing flashes of what I say. You are not so preoccupied with the bending of light. You are more focused on the light itself.

Light becomes you. You are coming to the light of realization. You are stepping up. You are stepping right up. I am within your grasp. I am within the grasp of your heart. Your heart is beating for Me, beloveds. How eagerly your heart reaches out for Mine.

You not only want to embrace Me. You want to hold Me within you forever. You want to recognize that you do. You want to recognize that I AM and have always been fully within you. You want to more than acknowledge. Acknowledgment is not enough for you. You want to see. You want to know. You want Us to be holding hands all the time, and you want to know that We are.

We are holding hands, yet the most marvelous thing is simply that We ARE. We ARE. I AM and you ARE. We ARE. There never was a time We were not. We have been One forever. We were One before the budding of the Universe. We were before the Universe was thought of. We thought of it.

Our thought brought Creation about. We created Creation. We created the magnificence of it. A song came from My mouth, and so Creation was My music, and physicality was born. From My thought came human beings who were always My Being. My Being took form. From the formless came form. From the timeless came time.

Why were you born? You were born to express the irrepressible unexpressible God. You were born to express Me from innocence. You were born so innocent that you expressed Me without knowing you were. You didn't know who you were, and you may not have known I existed. You certainly didn't know that I existed within you.

You were born to express. You were not born to suppress or depress or impress or digress or regress. You were born to express Me at the same time as you search for Me in darkness. This seemingly elusive essence that you so long for in life is I. I am what you seek while I am the very content of you and need not be sought, only recognized.

It might seem to you that I am in two places. One is Heaven, and one within you. And now I tell you there are no two places, and there is no you. There is One. There is not even the Oneness of Us. There is not even the We of Me. There is only I. I alone exist, and yet I exist in you. Only in a dream is such irreconcilable contradiction possible.
